Oceanco Y726 Yacht Launch Shows Shipyard’s Projects Getting Even Bigger

A 364-footer (111-meter) is surely a large superyacht. However, having a volume of 4,550 gross makes the Oceanco Y726 yacht one of the builder’s biggest by volume.

Still only referring to her by her hull number, the build and design teams, along with the owner’s team, celebrated the launch on June 14. The owner is a previous Oceanco customer, too. However, neither the shipyard nor others connected to the project are revealing what the owner’s prior yacht was.

As for the new launch, though, besides confirming the 364-foot LOA, Oceanco confirms a healthy beam of 52 feet (16 meters). Within the walls, the owner is looking forward to treating family to travels and some private time together. A winter garden enrobed in glass, two cinemas (one alfresco), and a spa with a steam room and a sauna will let them do that. Of course, the megayacht also has a healthy beach club, with a bar.

On a related note, about a year ago, the build and design teams celebrated an Oceanco Y726 yacht developmental milestone with some custom chocolate bars. Prior to that, meanwhile, Oceanco commemorated her arrival at her outfitting shed by inviting a street artist to welcome her with grafitti (below).

The design team specifically unites the Mark Berryman studio for interior design with Espen Øino International for styling. Oceanco’s own naval architects have been collaborating with Lateral Naval Architects. Additionally, Dan Jackson of Wright Maritime Group, the owner’s longtime representative, has contributed specific engineering requests. Overall, “hundreds of participants” have gotten the project to this point, according to Lee Archer, Lateral’s program director. Archer also says that Y726 reflects “bold design ambition and robust engineering.”

Although the delivery date is not yet public, it will be later this year. The same is true for sea trials. “She is set to be a standout addition to the Oceanco fleet,” says Edske Smit, Oceanco’s project director. A.J. Anderson, CEO of Wright Maritime Group, agrees. He further says, “As we enter the final stages, we’re proud to play a part in delivering a truly special yacht to her owner.”
